• INDO-PACIFIC OCEANS’ INITIATIVE

The Indo-Pacific region is increasingly being viewed as a global centre of gravity, both for its economic and demographic potential, and the security challenges that could frustrate those possibilities. India—as a champion of the principle of ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ or FOIP—has initiated engagements with its partners in the region, such as the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI) that aims to ensure the security and stability of the region’s maritime domain. Even as the stakeholders have outlined a set of seven pillars for the initiative, there is still little clarity as to what can be expected from the IPOI. This paper offers recommendations for the IPOI to enable India play a more proactive and constructive role in the region.

The United States has designated Switzerland and Vietnam as currency manipulators for allegedly meddling in foreign exchange markets, sparking disputes with two trading partners.

The countries were labeled as such Wednesday in a U.S. Treasury Department annual report aimed at stopping countries from manipulating their currencies to achieve unfair trade advantages.

It is the first time the U.S. has branded another country as a currency manipulator since August 2019, when China was given the label while engaged in tense trade talks with the U.S.

The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union perpetually threatened to spark conflict in nations all over the world, including battles over the control of a vast array of natural and industrial resources. The new Cold War, between the United States and China, is increasingly focused on access to just one industry in one place: computer chips made in Taiwan.

TTCT – Tin cựu tổng thống Hàn Quốc Lee Myung Bak bị tuyên án 17 năm tù làm dấy lên nhiều câu hỏi: Tội nghiệt ông có thực đáng như vậy không, hay đây là một màn ân oán chính trị? Làm thế nào mà các tổng thống xứ này cứ thay phiên nhau xộ khám vì tham nhũng sau khi hết nhiệm kỳ? Điều gì khiến tay họ nhúng chàm trong khi số tiền họ tơ hào chỉ khoảng chục triệu USD?

Thủy điện Rào Trăng 3 trên thượng nguồn sông Bồ nhìn từ máy bay trực thăng

Không biết cây rừng – một loại sinh vật không biết nói, không biết than không biết khóc – ngoài cách phản ứng gián tiếp với con người bằng mặc kệ lũ lụt hoành hành, còn có cách nào nữa không, nhưng cầm chắc là có biết đi nữa chúng nó cũng không lường nổi “cái mốc đổi đời 1945” lại đưa cả bà con họ hàng chúng đến chỗ tuyệt diệt như hôm nay. Trong vài thập kỷ lại đây chúng đã chịu một cuộc “Cải cách rừng núi” long trời lở đất gấp vạn lần CCRĐ, mà hình như đến giờ này cũng đâu đã kết thúc.

Hoặc giả là chúng nó có biết đấy mà chỉ vì cũng giống cột đèn, chúng chẳng có chân để mà chạy. Chứ nếu mà cây cối cũng có chân thì sao nhỉ?

Thì chắc là nhà thơ Tố Hữu sẽ không bao giờ còn có dịp viết nổi câu thơ nổi tiếng này kể từ hồi kháng chiến chống Pháp:  “Rừng che bộ đội rừng vây quân thù”.

CCSI | 2 November 2020

CCSI (Columbia Center on Sustainable Settlement, Columbia University) hosted an online discussion with George Kahale on issues surrounding valuation in ISDS disputes, which has become the most dangerous aspect of ISDS, as evidenced by the many enormous damages awards of recent years.

This discussion was open to all government officials, civil society, international organizations, and academics.

A transcript of the event is available here.

 George Kahale III

George Kahale is the chairman of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP. He has represented many governments and State companies in international transactions and disputes, including several of the world’s largest and best known international arbitrations.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on October 2 launched two investigations of Vietnam under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, including one into alleged currency undervaluation. The president has repeatedly complained about Vietnam’s large trade surplus with the United States, and the USTR action is one of several launched by the administration targeting Vietnam’s currency practices. But the administration has also touted the growing security partnership with Vietnam, which shares U.S. anxieties about China, and the trade actions could run counter to the broader strategic alignment between Hanoi and Washington.

The national airline of Vietnam finally saw “the light at the end of the tunnel” when the National Assembly agreed with the Government’s proposal for solutions to help Vietnam Airlines overcome difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the resolution of the 10th session, the 14th National Assembly approved two options. Firstly, the State Bank of Vietnam refinances and extends no more than two times for credit institutions (excluding those under special control) to allow Vietnam Airlines to borrow additional capital to serve production and business activities.

Claimed to last for at least 50-70 years, stones used to pave major streets in Hanoi are falling apart only a few years after they were installed.

Three years ago, Hanoi’s authorities introduced a new set of regulations on road renovation, which slated a complete transition of paving material from bricks to natural stone on 900 streets of the capital city for the end of 2020.

In the process, natural stone was praised as a sturdy paving material which can last for at least 70 years.

TĐH: Dear readers, for the sake of Vietnamese workers, please kindly promote this article far and wide. Thank you very much.

I am not an expert. Most certainly, I am not an economist. I just speak from the experience of being an ordinary, unskilled worker.

Until a few years ago, as college students, my friend and I typically spent summer vacations as factory workers to earn some money and help parents pay our tuition fees.

Honestly, those three months felt like three centuries.
